Chapter 1 - Anatomy, Neuroanatomy & Physiology Flashcards
Spinal column
7 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 5 sacral 3-4 coccygeal
External intercostals vs internal intercostals
Internal pulls ribs down to decrease diameter of thoracic cavity - exhalation
External pulls ribs up to increase diameter - inhalation
Muscles of inspiration
Diaphragm
Abdomen
Intercostal muscles
Muscles of expiration
Latissimus dorsi Rectus abdominis Transversus abdominis Internal oblique abdominis Quadratus lumborum
The intrinsic laryngeal muscles are responsible for…
Speech production
Intrinsic laryngeal muscles
Thyroarytenoid Lateral cricoarytenoid Transverse arytenoid Oblique arytenoid Cricothyroid Posterior cricoarytenoid
Innervated by CN X
Extrinsic laryngeal muscles
Suprahyoid - elevators; diagstric, geniohyoid, mylohyoid, stylohyoid, hyoglossus, genioglossus
Infrahyoid - depressors; thyrohyoid, omohyoid, Sternothyroid and sternohyoid
3 layers of vocal folds
Epithelium
Lamina propia
Vocalic muscle
Myoelastic aerodynamic theory
Vocal folds vibrate because of the forces and pressure or air and because of the elasticity of the folds
Bernoulli effect
Caused by increased speed of air pressure between the vocal folds
“Sucking” motion of vocal folds towards one another
Cerebellum regulates
Motor movement
Superior laryngeal nerve
Sensory information to larynx and innervation for cricothyroid muscles
Recurrent laryngeal nerve
Sensory and motor for information below vocal folds
Would have problems with voicing if this was damaged
Resonation
Modifying of laryngeal tone by dampening or enhancing of specific frequencies
Velum is elevated for all sounds but
Nasals
